The dictation on my iPhone 13

Where I use my dictation why does it not always type what I say? It’s like I always have to go rewrite everything. Is there a setting that will help me dictate better so it will type theo correct stuff I say

iPhone 13, iOS 16

  1. Background Noise: Try using dictation in a quiet environment to minimize the impact of background noise on speech recognition.
  2. Speak Clearly: Make sure you speak clearly and at a moderate pace. iPhone might have difficulty understanding if you mumble or speak too fast.
  3. Use Punctuation: When dictating longer texts, you can use punctuation commands like "period," "comma," or "question mark" to help understand the structure of your sentence better.
  4. Dictation needs internet so please check the stability. When using Dictation, cellular data charges may apply. See View or change cellular data settings on iPhone.
